Reservoir and distribution chlorine monitoring

Explore reservoir and distribution chlorine monitoring, including suitable zero-flow, immersion and in-pipe arrangements. Plan power and telemetry with PMA.

PMA Halogen monitoring scene for reservoir and distribution discussions

Monitor the residual where the water is stored and used.

Choose a representative point

Reservoirs and distribution systems need a measurement that reflects the water being assessed. Review mixing, turnover, location and access before choosing an immersion or in-pipe arrangement.

Variable and zero external flow

Halogen’s integral circulation is intended to control conditions close to the sensing surfaces. This supports suitable zero external-flow and variable-flow duties within the selected model’s limits. It does not make an unrepresentative or poorly mixed sample point representative: review tank turnover, location and immersion conditions separately.

Consider sample-water loss

Direct immersion or an appropriate in-pipe installation can avoid a continuous sample-to-drain stream. A side-stream system may still require a drain or pump, so compare the complete arrangement.

Engineer the remote package

Power, telemetry, logging, communications coverage and maintenance access all affect a remote installation. Battery, solar and cloud options require a specified package rather than an assumed standard inclusion.

Your questions answered.

Can chlorine be monitored where there is no external flow?

Suitable Halogen configurations support zero external-flow duties using integral local circulation. The monitoring point must still be representative and within the selected model’s operating limits.

Does reservoir monitoring require a sample pump?

An appropriate immersion arrangement can avoid an external sample pump. Side-stream and other installations have different requirements; confirm the complete water path, power and service arrangement.
